The Ford Mustang GT for 2005
A high point in the coupe market is the Ford Mustang. In 2005 Ford rolled out an upgraded version of the Mustang with two versions: Base and GT. Sales for the Mustang, especially the Mustang GT, were brisk during 2005 and 2006. The improved reliability and the updated styling were responsible for the increased interest.
2005 Ford Mustang GT Specs
The restyled Mustang GT is equipped with a 4.6-liter eight-cylinder engine that utilizes 24 valves. The engine is mated to a Ford five-speed transmission. This has resulted in an increase in horsepower and torque over the 2004 version.
The fuel system for the 2005 Mustang is a traditional SFI, running on gasoline fuel. The fuel is controlled by an electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design. The capacity of the fuel tank is 16.00 gallons.
The Mustang uses power-assisted brakes, with 4-Wheel ABS support. The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are disc. Steering is handled through a power-steering rack-style configuration. The car uses coil and coil springs front and rear respectively.
Mustang GT Statistics
The Mustang is 187.60 inches long, 74.00 inches wide, and 54.50 inches high. It has a wheelbase of 107.10 inches. It is able to seat 4 comfortably.
The listed retail price in 2005 (MSRP) was $19,165, with an invoice cost of $17,689. This price is above average of the industry average price for a two-door Coupe.
The standard warranty period for the Mustang is 36 months, or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. This is standard in the coupe market.
Fuel Efficiency
The Mustang GT received a miles-per-gallon rating of nineteen in-city driving and 25 - 28 when it came to long-distance. Being a gas-powered non-green car, this was subpar.
Conclusion
The 2004 model began the promise of the Ford Mustang. The 2005 expanded on this success and has proven to be a strong seller in most markets. Even with strong competition from other manufacturers Ford hopes that the Mustang GT will continue to be a profitable vehicle.
